FAYETTE TOWN COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 2021
LOCATED AT FAYETTE TOWN HALL AT 7PM
FACILITATED BY MAYOR JED BARTHOLOMEW
CALL TO ORDER 7:08pm
ROLL CALL: Jed Bartholomew, Mayor, Brandon Jensen, Kelly Sue Mellor, Katie Lyman (on the Phone)
PRAYER: Brandon Jensen
1) REVIEW MINUTES: Brandon made the Motion to accept the Minutes. Kelly Sue seconds the Motion. Motion Passes.
2) REVIEW EXPENDITURES: Brandon makes the Motion to accept the Expenditures. Kelly Sue seconds the Motion. The Motion Passes.
3) NATHAN KING WATER REPORT: We have been having problems with water tanks. On August 23 lightning blew out our Meter to the pumps. The water got down to 3ft. Nathan and Jed have been working on it and have had to turn it on Manually for awhile. The Meter is ordered, but not here yet. We are doing better. Nathan has been turning it on everyday.
Meters aren't picking up some meters so the Clerk will call Mountainland and see when they can come help us.
We also voted to let Nathan have $500. Kelly Sue made the Motion to let Nathan have up to $500 for water fix. Brandon seconded the Motion. Motion passes.
4) LAPTOP FOR NATHAN: Next Month
5) WATER SITUATION: Talked about it earlier
6) ELECTIONS; The Town hasn't had anyone interested in running for Town Council, so the election for this year has been cancelled. We did get Melissa Mellor for one seat and Bryan Lyman for a write-in for another. So these 2 will be our next Council Members in January. The Mayor's position has not had anyone apply, so this position could be still occupied by Jed Bartholomew.
7) WE RECEIVED ARPA IDEAS OF WHAT TO DO WITH IT: some ideas are: Better Cell Service, Flood Control, Another Loan or Grant for Water Tank or Flood Control. Second deposit will come next year so we can be thinking about this opportunity.
8) FUND FOR TOWN HALL-FLOORS-PAINT FOR DOOR: Town Hall needs some upgrades. Can we raise fees on Renting the Hall? Possisbility. Some doors need to be fixed and maybe widened. Just some work to bring it back to nice condition!!
CITIZEN'S CONCERNS
EMERGENCY SESSION (If needed)
TOWN COUNCIL ITEMS:
JED BARTHOLOMEW, MAYOR: Water, Weeds, Office, Cemetery:
Jed has some concerns about the Cemetery! It is BAD!! Brandon is going to do the survey and then we need to make sure everyone is satisfied with what the outcome will be. Some graves were put in the wrong place and now there is nothing we can do about them.
Consider a Cemetery company to help us. They charge a yearly fee. We need to section out the lower section.
We also need to get someone to do our weeds early next year.
BRANDON JENSEN: Flags, P&Z, Park
Roads are finished. Final inspection on Tuesday or Thursday. Mayor wasn't too happy about them. All of us thought they turned out nice. Mayor will be there for Final inspection.
JOHN BOWN: Animal Control, Fire Meeting's, Cemetery:
He got the red Rock for the Cemetery.
KELLY SUE MELLOR: Celebrations, Grants:
What about someone to do the snow plowing this year? We need to address that too.
